    Nice and wide open it is.
    Isn't this lovely?
    Guess I'll be sitting at my desk as much as possible today.

    PS. Damn you Gap, damn you all to hell.

    Hehehahaha!

    If it makes you feel any better, I once ripped the arse right out of my pants at work and I had to go around with my legs clenched together for the rest of the day! ;)

    Can you staple your fly shut? Be careful though, one wrong move and it's vasectomy city!

    My boss once broke his zipper. He dealt with it by saying "I have a family emergency!" and rushing out the door with his briefcase shielding the damaged area.

    He came back later wearing new pants.

    It works if you're the big cheese.

    That's at least not as physically dangerous as B'omarr's suggestion.

    Neither glue nor staples will be going near the privates, thank you.

    Update: A trip to the bathroom confirms that this zipper is beyond all repair.

    Take off your pants and work in your boxers, or briefs, whatever the case. Anyone asks you, its casual day at work!

    I guess the next thing that will happen is you'll get paged over the intercom and you'll rip a hole right down the back of your pants.

    or you can just pretend that there was no zipper in the first place and go around the office like you don't care what hangs out...

    Ok, so you're a bit embarrassed to let your co-workers know your zipper just broke... but you can tell thousands on this board? Hehehe.

    The internet is wonderfully anonymous in that way anakin.

    BTW people, congratulations on the crappiest set of suggestions I've ever seen.
    From bringing different kinds of sharp metal and hazardous chemicals near the privates, to walking around half naked with an air of confidence :D

    You could wear a t-shirt that says "My zipper broke and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."

    I think in certain situations such as this, an emergency trip home is warranted. Imagining yourself "stuck" at work with a broken zipper or split pants is just plain stoopid.

    Instead of a hat, you could always use a styrofoam cup to cover up any naughty bits. Or, if your work is like mine, you could hang your ID badge over any exposed areas.

    A sensical idea Anakin, that's what I've been doing since this happened. Now I look like a slob with my once under the pants wrinkled shirt tail sticking out but its better than the Free Willy option.
    Also, I commute downtown, so a round trip home is out of the question.

    This feels like the plot of some awful sitcom... or low budget adult film.

    This is one of the reasons I keep a day-glo orange necktie in my top desk drawer. You don't want to know the other reasons. trust me.
